It's D, they run in order until the first match.

I definitely recall that they don't run randomly, so I think it has to be either C or D, but I lean towards D since it makes more sense to stop at the first match.

I feel a bit confused about the execution strategy. Was it that they merge data from successful sections or just stop at the first one?

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think the correct answer is that they run in order until one succeeds, which sounds like option D.

I think the Identification Sections are executed one by one, but I'm not sure if it's until the first successful match or the last one.

I’m leaning towards option D, but I might be mixing it up with another topic we covered.

I feel like it could be random execution too, but that doesn't seem right for this context.
